Chad built a scale model of a statue. He built the model 7 inches tall to represent the actual height of 15 feet. Which equation below represents the relationship between the actual height (a), in feet, and the height of the model (m), in inches?
When m=7 a=15 and the two are directly proportional so
a=km
15=k*7
k=15/7
so
a=(15/7)*m
Since the scale is 7: 180 or 1: 25 5/7 inches, or 1 inch to 2 1/7 feet, your equation should reflect that.
